This website respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. § 512), we respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement. This page explains how to submit a takedown notice, how to file a counter-notification, and how we handle repeat infringers.
How to file a DMCA takedown notice
If you are a copyright owner, or authorised to act on behalf of one, and you believe that material on this site infringes your copyright, you may send a written notice to our designated agent. To be effective, your notice must include all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorised to act on their behalf.
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list).
- Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — ideally the exact URL(s) on this site.
- Your contact information: full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the owner's behalf.
Designated copyright agent
Send takedown notices and any copyright-related correspondence to our designated agent by email, with "DMCA notice" in the subject line:
This inbox is monitored regularly. Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation that material is infringing may be liable for damages.
What happens after a valid notice
When we receive a notice that meets the requirements above, we will remove or disable access to the material in question within a reasonable time. Where appropriate, we may notify the person who posted or is responsible for the material so that they have the opportunity to respond with a counter-notification.
How to file a counter-notification
If you believe your material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notification to the designated agent above. To be effective, it must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts and will accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice.
If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the removed material in a reasonable time unless the original complainant files a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.
Repeat infringers
We may, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, limit access to the site or terminate accounts of users who are found to be repeat infringers of copyright.
